About us and Things to do

The Nags Head

In the 15th century, once stood two cottages at the far side of Great Missenden in the Chilterns, which later became a traditional coaching inn servicing the trade routes into London.

Today, the Nags Head is a charming independently owned freehouse, pub and small hotel in the Chilterns. Famously and historically frequented by the likes of Roald Dahl and many of our country’s prime ministers enroute to the Chequers country residence.

Adventure Awaits!

Being in the heart of the Chilterns one of the 38 AONBs (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), we are blessed with some of nature’s finest landscapes, not to mention glorious wildlife, some of which is native to the Chilterns. It’s a walkers and cyclists heaven.

History and architecture also awaits you, with gorgeous brick and flint buildings and manor houses dotted over the countryside, most of particular heritage such as Hughenden manor or Berkhamsted Castle.

It’s staggering how many famous people, artists, literary idols, royal connections and (hmmm) politicians have been part of the Chilterns. Most of their legacies have been left behind in some of form in the Chilterns.
